The patternABC comprises 32 pattern icons joining organic forms with geometric forms, core symmetries, and the building blocks of all. It serves as a universal visual language, which leverages the evolution of vision and spatial visualization into a way of seeing how things work.
Defined by the laws of space and physics, these patterns are the core set of nature’s most basic building elements. They are her building blocks for two- and three- dimensional patterns, on micro- and macro-scales.
Every second from the moment we animals are born, our minds collect intelligence by way of pattern recognition and processing. Along the way, we learn to identify and apply this design not only to our senses, but to ideas, concepts and stories. Curiosity and wonder promote perceptual learning from an early age, as we see and experience the beauty around us.
na2ure’s Pattern Alphabet is a radical new way to make these fundamental formulas into a visual vocabulary and serve as an introduction to seeing patterns and structures built not only on earth, but in our universe.
